native of philadelphia Tierra Whack shared a new song, “76”, celebrating her hometown heroes, the Philadelphia 76ers. “76” was posted on the team’s official YouTube page, along with a music video filled with NBA footage.
On the song, Tierra emphatically screams Philly’s biggest stars, paying homage to the team that currently captivates the city. Whack has been busy with collaborations lately, team up with lego in April for the light visual, “Link”. With help from Philadelphia school kids and director Cat Solen, Whack’s imaginative vision gets a fun boost as they help create different intergalactic creatures, rocket launchers, hummingbirds, and castles to enhance the dynamics of the video. . Inspired by Whack’s playful childhood memories, “Link” proves to be an entertaining and exploratory watch for people of all ages.
Before creating “Link,” Whack sat alongside children ages 6-9 to build a myriad of LEGO brick objects to inspire her innovative video. Children’s imaginations were unleashed as they built anything they could think of. Whack, serving as a blank canvas, wholeheartedly received their suggestions and helped realize their concepts to the best of his ability.
“I was so excited to work with children because their energy is fun, exhilarating, endless and full of surprises,” Tierra Whack says of the creative process. “I really trusted them and knew they were going to come up with something great. What I liked most about the process was being able to partner with such an iconic company as the LEGO Group because we could do anything!
“Link” is Whack’s first video since its release in October 2020 “Dora” which was produced by conceptual artist Alex De Corte. Whack doubled down and released two more records in “Feel good” and “Peppers and onions” to conclude its 2020.
